New Pictures

This past weekend Momma and my Aunt dressed me up to get St. Patrick's Day pictures. Momma said it was alright for me to wear green because she is part Irish and I am her son. So does that make me Irish?

I know I'm adopted and my ancestors came from Tibet but momma said it's okay for me to be Irish if I want to be.

Momma helped me post a lot of new pictures of me. My Aunt took close to 20 of me so I will try to get momma to post the others soon. My Aunt took close to 10 of my sister. She looks pretty but I'm the top model of this family.

I wonder if Tyra Banks would let me strut my stuff on the cat walk? Miss J would understand me better. Instead of calling it a "cat walk" I would like to see it called a "dog stroll". I would have to say no to the make-over though because why mess with perfection?

I am one handsome dude!

Good night Dear pups.

PS my brother refused to have more than one new picture taken.

Great Fun

I had a great weekend playing with my best friend Zayne and my new friend Eli. That little Chi (Eli) can use my puppy pad like nobody's business.

We all piled on my Aunt last night while she slept making it a true sleep over.

This morning after we all enjoyed a drink and kibble, we played again. Zayne tried to play Piggy back ride with my sister but she wouldn't hold still. I tried to help him out but I'm a little guy myself so I wasn't much use. Eli didn't want no part of the game.

Can't wait until we can play again together. Next time maybe Mya bug can come too.

Life would be boring without good friends!

A weekend of fun

My Best est Friend Zayne is here this weekend. His newest Brother Eli (Maggie and Luke's son) is also here. I think I played with Eli more so far.

Eli is enjoying his first weekend of Food , Felony and Fun. I'm trying to teach the little guy to steal things. I demonstrated my techniques by searching my Aunt's overnight bag but she caught me.

I also showed Eli how to steal his own things from his carrier. Hope he finds the joy of hoarding his own treasure pile one day.

Time to go play dress up with Momma.

Private Zayne of the First Crested Battalion reported for- Duty today

I needed extra reinforcements for support of the Buddha Buddha company so I called in Zayne for help. He's been with the First Crested Battalion since birth.

He only works in the warm climate so I thought he could help me patrol the lower quadrants of my domain. Inside so he can stay nice and warm.

So tonight when he was helping me guard the domain he left his post. I found him in the kitchen, eating. This was not a approved break.

An approved break includes food, fetch and fun. Normally before and after a nap. Guard duty between the approved breaks. Well its nap time.

Night Dear Friends.

PS Zaynes mom brought me a new squeaky toy.

Investigation of Suspect

ATTENTION * ABOUT FACE* WINDOW* BARK

Private Tzu Class Rocky reporting for duty. My investigation of the subject is complete.

I have determined the culprit of the recent snowfall to be a nymph by the name of Jack Frost. He delivered the snow and then made it so cold the fresh fallen snow is hard like concrete. I went outdoors earlier to check the quality of the snow.

Its cold on my feet and I'm unable to plow through it with my nose. So the fun quality is low for a little guy like me. I'm part Shih Tzu and love playing in the snow.

I also heard there is a good possibility of a visit from a one, Mr Heat Miser. If he comes he will destroy the snow. I will keep you updated.

Signing off

PS I miss my friends Patch and Jack, hope they are okay!

PSS my friend Zayne will be here in 3 days for a sleep over

Snow Patrol

I'm back on duty after a great weekend of fetch and belly rubs. Plenty of kisses from mom and hours of getting my hair brushed. I wish there was more quantity but the quality time was awesome.

I resumed my patrol when Momma got up. She needs me close by when she sleeps for protection. She did enter a room or two today without me. I tried to alert her to let her know that I can't protect her if I'm not with her.

Rudie told me to stop crying, he misunderstands my mission to protect her. Tonight Momma is letting me patrol outside, a man named Jack Frost left his calling card, snow.

I don't know what his intentions are but I must investigate the snow.
Time to resume my patrol. Good Night and God Speed

Yay yay the gangs all here

Just enjoying my family today. Sunday is the only day our whole family is here.

Nowhere to go and Nothing to patrol. I like being a guard dog and early alarm system.

I hear things before anyone else does. Shih Tzu have excellent hearing.

It is said in Ancient Tibet, my ancestors were used to guard the much larger Mastiffs, because of our hearing. If a Tzu heard an intruder, it would bark to alert the mastiffs.

Our history is made of ancient legends and myths.

One day I hope to hear more about my maltese ancestors but today I love being Shih Tzu.

I want to thank our new friends keighty and family for my new Diary pick picture.

reporting for duty

Today my patrol was uneventful. I checked the windows multiple times and searched the cat for contraband. He wasn't hiding anything, but I can't be certain without a full body scan.

He slapped me and said I was violating his rights. Cocoa said I violated her also. She ran past the security checkpoint so I was forced to detain her by biting her front leg.

Momma had to tell me to stand down because Cocoa told on me.

I am now free to enjoy some time off. I plan to get some R & R this weekend in mom's lap. I might keep close to my domain as the intruder came back. I hear it outside saying whoooo.

*signing off*

Thank You

Thank You Dogster for allowing me, Pvt. Rocky, to be one of today's Diary Picks. I am honored and love sharing my life with you all.

I am Pvt Rocky of the Buddah company. I love playing soldier. I closely monitor the windows I can see out of. I am short so I use furniture to stand on for visibility.

My main objective is to protect my family. I also like eating and sleeping. Fetch is one of my favorite indoor games. Mom is my real joy though.

In other news .... Today is my cousin Zayne's first Birthday. I would of called him my fur cousin but he has no hair. Mya Bugs 1st birthday is in March. We are the three puppyteers. That's all for now.

PS I would like to thank my new friend Sophie for my lips. Smooches to You.

Outside it was a dark and starless night

Just as I was taking a break from patrolling the lower quadrants of my domain, mom started to eat her dinner. Since I was on break, I tried giving her the Sad Eye Look to score me some of Mom's food but it wasn't working.

So I thought to myself, maybe Mom would make a fair trade for one of my hidden treasures...

Tennis Ball? Clothes Hanger? Clean Sock? Slipper? Squeaky Toy? Dirty Sock?

I decided against offering my most valued treasure, a dirty sock. She has a lot of hangers so that would not be a fair trade.

So I offered one of dad's slippers for an even trade. Its not really mine so what do I have to lose? I could always steal it back. A dirty sock is my most valuable treasure and if I trade that it would no longer be dirty when she puts it in the machine downstairs.

So I offered the slipper and she still would not share..mean Mom.

Back to my patrol unless I want to get assigned to KP duty..

Pvt. Rocky
